Which one would make you book a table? 🤷♀️👇
We’ve all seen them filling our feeds lately: the lightning-fast, ultra-bright AI event posters.
They’re quick, they’re cheap, and they’re incredibly easy. But here’s the real question:
Are they actually doing their job?
Let’s look at the "Sunday Roast" comparison above:
🔴 IMAGE 1 (The AI Chaos):
It says "Sunday Roast Party!" but looks like a neon, wizard-themed kids' disco. The eye has nowhere to rest. It is packed with screaming text ("BOOK NOW NOW NOW!!!"), bubbling cauldrons, and zero brand colours or recognizable logos.
When a poster has too much going on, it loses all value because you cannot even spot where or what it is for!
🟢 IMAGE 2 (The On-Brand Classic):
Clean, calm, and immediately recognizable. It uses The Oak Tavern’s actual branding, natural photography, and the key info (Date, Time, Location) is impossible to miss. It builds trust, shows the actual vibe of a cosy Sunday afternoon, and respects the audience’s attention.
Top 3 things to remember when promoting your event:
📸 Use real business photos: Show people the actual experience you are offering.
📍 Keep it simple: Tag your location and make the date/time instantly visible.
🎨 Stick to your branding: If people cannot tell it is your business, you miss out on the value of customer loyalty and recognition.
Sure, AI is a timesaving temptation. But if a poster is too bright, misrepresentative, and cluttered, what is the point if it does not get people through your doors?
💬 Let’s have it: Which one gets your vote? And honestly, what do you think of the rise of AI posters online? Love the speed, or tired of the clutter? 👇
